Product focus:
Health and Wellbeing
Ideas for the product (artistic, technical):
Product design finalists:
- Mini portable monitor
- Wristband monitor
Pulse Monitor Artistic Ideas:
- Fridge magnet mount
- Mini portable monitor
- Wristband monitor
- Finger clip pulse monitor
- Phonecase mount
- Keychain attachment
- Pulse monitor app
How it relates to energy transfer:
Because this device requires a battery pack and a sensor that measures pulse rate through light it represents chemical energy being converted into electrical energy. The chemical reactions in a battery include the flow of electrons from one material to another, through an external circuit.
Portable Monitor (Prototype):
This design not only looks similar to a portable phone charger but what makes it better is that it is a bit small and c an be used as a keychain. For people who often lose items, using this kind of portable key chain can be very helpful. The device will be the tester for the final product just to make sure the pulse sensor works properly.

Mini Portable (Final) :
Just like the portable monitor this monitor will be the final design for the project. Using an Arduino nano instead of an Arduino UNO helps save a lot of space because the nano is smaller in terms of size making it easier to handle. The only con of making this device is that the materials required are different than the materials used in the first design (Portable Monitor) using an Arduino nano instead of the UNO.
